PETALING JAYA: Top Glove Corporation Bhd has been included in the S&P Dow Jones Best in Class Index 2026, marking the seventh consecutive year of being listed on the globally recognised sustainability benchmark, which was previously known as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
Top Glove remains the only Malaysian company within the Health Care Equipment and Supplies sector in the S&P Dow Jones Best in Class under the Emerging Markets Index.
This achievement was underpinned by Top Glove’s strong performance in the 2025 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.
The company significantly outperformed the industry average and emerged as the top scoring glove manufacturer among peers in Malaysia and Thailand.
In a statement today, Top Glove said its strongest performing dimension was in Strong Governance and Risk Management, supported by high standards of business ethics, product quality and sustainability reporting.
Human Capital Management, the most heavily weighted criterion for the industry, was also a key contributor to the company’s inclusion, demonstrating its continued focus on employee development, workplace safety and workforce wellbeing.
Top Glove said its sustainability performance was enhanced by a high level of disclosure, with over 90% data transparency, commendable environmental management, as well as the absence of any recent ESG related controversies.
“Top Glove’s seventh consecutive inclusion in the S&P Dow Jones Best in Class Index is a strong affirmation of our unwavering commitment to embed sustainability across every aspect of our operations,” remarked executive chairman Tan Sri Dr Lim Wee Chai.
He added that their performance reflects disciplined governance, strong transparency and a deep commitment to human capital development, which remains a critical factor for their business and the industry.
“We remain focused on contributing positively and creating long term value for our stakeholders, while meeting global glove demand responsibly,” Lim said.
The S&P Dow Jones Best in Class Indices evaluate companies globally based on their performance across industry specific sustainability criteria, assessing economic, environmental and social dimensions.
